Piercing in Branson

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am not a piercing person. I’m not even a tattoo-adjacent, edgy accessory kind of person. But after a very impulsive 42 hours of questionable decision-making, I woke up and thought: you know what would really complete me as a human being? Nipple piercings.

Now, even in my impulsivity, I had standards. I wasn’t about to let some back-alley bedazzler take a stab at me. I wanted reputable, professional, and safe. That’s how I landed here.

Let me tell you: the waiting was the worst part. My brain went into full interrogation mode:
• How much is this going to hurt?
• What if my boobs reject me after this?

But then, the waiting room turned into an unexpected pep rally. Within minutes, I had a squad of random women cheering me on like I was about to win Olympic gold instead of a piercing. Shoutout to those ladies, you made me feel like Beyoncé walking on stage instead of me, trembling in a chair.

When it was time, Mark (the piercer, a saint, possibly a wizard) coached me through every step. He told me exactly when to breathe, and I swear he has some magical timing because just as I exhaled—BOOM, first one was done. Pain scale? Maybe a 2 or 3 out of 10. For comparison: stepping on a Lego is like an 8. Stubbing your pinky toe is an 11. This was shockingly chill.

And just like that, I was no longer nipple-piercing-curious, I was officially part of the club.

Three things I wish someone had told me beforehand:
1. It’s not just “not that bad” it’s actually kind of fun. Technique matters, and when you go to someone who knows what they’re doing, it’s basically a weird little adrenaline party.
2. Immediately after, you will want to show everyone. Best friends? Yep. Group chats? Yep. Mailman? …tempting. It’s like getting bangs—except you really want validation.
3. No one warns you about the soundtrack in your head. I walked out feeling like I needed a theme song. Something between the Rocky soundtrack and Lizzo’s “Good as Hell.” My nips deserved background music.

Now here I am, a proud, a week, post-nip-pierced individual. They feel amazing, I feel amazing, and honestly, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but if I had three nipples, I’d do it again.“

“Everyone here was so kind, personable, professional, and welcoming. I've been to places where they make you feel like any idea you bring in is silly and childish and this place is far from that! They answered my chat outside of work ours and were very clear/concise! I brought a general idea in to Jason and he knocked it out of the park! The person at the counter (I am so sad I can't remember her name) but she was so funny and kind and helpful! Love this place! If I'm in Branson again I will def be coming back!“

“I came in as a walk in and was treated very kindly each time! My tattoo artist Ryan was such a sweet heart. He balanced work place humor and customer service spectacularly. That isn't to mention how his work is so beautiful! I am very pleased and will be coming back!“
